  • If You Let Your Customers Deploy Netscape Navigator, You Will Loose [Sic] Leadership on the Desktop.”
    told them that “if you let your customers deploy Netscape Navigator, you will loose [sic] leadership on the desktop.” F. Excluding Navigator from Important Distribution Channels 143. Decision-makers at Microsoft worried that simply developing its own attractive browser product, pricing it at zero, and promoting it vigorously would not divert enough browser usage from Navigator to neutralize it as a platform. They believed that a comparable browser product offered at no charge would still not be compelling enough to consumers to detract substantially from Navigator’s existing share of browser usage. This belief was due, at least in part, to the fact that Navigator already enjoyed a very large installed base and had become nearly synonymous with the Web in the public’s consciousness. If Microsoft was going to raise Internet Explorer’s share of browser usage and lower Navigator’s share, executives at Microsoft believed they needed to constrict Netscape’s access to the distribution channels that led most efficiently to browser usage. 1. The Importance of the OEM and IAP Channels 144. Very soon after it recognized the need to gain browser usage share at Navigator’s expense, Microsoft identified pre-installation by OEMs and bundling with the proprietary client software of IAPs as the two distribution channels that lead most efficiently to browser usage. Two main reasons explain why these channels are so efficient. First, users must acquire a computer and connect to the Internet before they can browse the Web. Thus, the OEM and IAP channels lead directly to virtually every user of browsing software.

  • Hello, and Welcome to Producer Bootcamp!
    Hello, and welcome to Producer Bootcamp! Silence phones, fill out surveys, email me instead of taking pictures of the slides. I’ll leave lots of time for Q&A at the end, so please keep track of anything you want to know more about! Hi, I’m Ruth Tomandl and I’ve been a producer/PM for 10 years (and 3 days!), on 8 different teams at 5 companies. I started in the Games industry at Gas Powered Games as a Level DesiGner workinG on the DunGeon SieGe Games, and I really liked schedulinG and coordination so I looked for a Producer job and joined a small independent game company, Snowblind Studios, which was acquired by Warner Brothers soon after and merGed into Monolith Productions. In 2013 I joined a mobile game startup, and in 2014 it shut down and I helped Uber Entertainment start a backend startup called Playfab. I’m currently at Oculus Research, and we are GrowinG really quickly. Lately I’ve been doinG a lot of interviewinG, hirinG, manaGinG, and mentorinG, and fiGurinG out which skills are needed on which teams. In this talk, I want to share some things I’ve learned about strengths that I wish I had known 10 years ago: what I’ve learned about producer strengths in general, my own strengths and how they’ve fitted the teams I’ve been on (for better or for worse), and how our strengths and weaknesses affect what kinds of producers we are. So today, I’m going to talk about: • The job of a producer: what even is it? • Different types of producer strengths • Different types of teams (and what kinds of producer skills are needed on which kinds of teams) • How to debug your own skills to better fit the needs of your team and build your strengths.
